A rod snack

I consider extrusion and dry process used to obtains this particular product quite unique. In fact this process is rarely used in the snack industry as far as I am aware. Dough is extruded through a die which mount inserts with desired shape (a stunned ghost face in our case or this is what it seems to me), the rod is then dried to reach a certain moisture and then sliced into single pieces which are dried further to final moisture of around 11%.

About me

Hello, I am Mauro Costa.

I have spent three decades working within a very special niche of food industry including extruded food, such as snack pellets, and traditional and precooked pasta. It started as a need, it became a passion. A way of living consisting in transforming natural ingredients into fancy and delicious types of food using technology and fantasy mixed with some creative Italian style. Here, I would like to show some examples of what goes around the snack and pasta world.
